No to new shoes

We went to mustafa for shopping the other day and decided to buy Ace a new pair of new shoes because his old ones seem to be too tight for him.

For some unknown reason, Ace refused to wear his new shoes no matter what we said or did. Forcing him to wear his new shoes was like this huge battle where he would scream and shout and kick and grab and it always ends with him crying and kicking away his new shoes.

We tried hiding his old shoes when we were about to go out and it did not work.

We tried highlighting to him that there is a STAR on the shoe (cos this is his favourite shape now) and that there is a dog on it.. But it did not work.

We tried letting him wear it for fun while we playing at home but when we had to go out, he still wanted his smelly old shoes.

Last resort, I forced him to wear it and LAUGHED while doing it so that he thought it was a game and was willing to put on the shoes for like 5 minutes.

And then we threw his old shoes away and forced him to wear it and force carried him out.... and after one time out with his new shoes, he would happily wear them now :)
